    Bite-size · updated 3 months ago ·

    Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux Make kdesu display a warning if Caps Lock is on, like kdesktop_lock does and I believe also KDM. This will be both helpfull and make KDE more consistent.

    "duplex printing wizard" for simplex printer "duplex printing wizard" for simplex printer

    Bite-size · updated 1 year ago ·

    Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1) Installed from: RedHat RPMs It would be cool if there was an easy way to do duplex printing on simplex printers. Most commercial Windows drivers implement a procedure like this: 1) User selects duplex printing. 2) Printer prints one side. 3) User is asked to rotate paper and put it back in the printer. 4) Printer prints on other side of paper. This may sound simple, but there are LOTS of thing to take into consideration: - Does the printer print in backward or forward order? That is, does the first sheet printed end up on the top or the bottom of the stack? If the printer prints backward, like most cheap inkjet printers, then the first side is printed with the "reverse" checkbox unchecked and the other side is printed with the "reverse" checkbox checked. If the printer prints forward, the contrary needs to be done. - Does the printer output paper facing the other way it was inputted? If so, then the printed stack must be flipped over by the user before it is inserted for the second run. - Does the printer rotate paper around the axis normal to the sheet? If so, then the inverse rotation must be performed by the user on the stack before it is inserted for the second run. - If there are more odd pages than even ones, then special care must be taken if the printer prints in backward order. The last page printed in the first run will need to be removed from the top of the stack before the rest is inserted for the second run. If n copies are printed and they are not collated, then n pages will need to be removed by the user. If they are collated, then the user is in trouble because he has to go and fetch every nth page from the bottom and remove it. Is it feasible? I suppose so, since it's been available in Windows for many years. However, it's vendor-specific so they know a lot of answers to the questions asked above. However, the user could easily answer those questions when printing duplex for the first time. Also, there could be "race conditions". If the user prints the first side and re-inserts the stack and then someone else sends a printing command, everything goes wrong. Although less dramatic, it would not work well if someone else sends a print command after the first side printing command has been sent and before the stack is re-inserted. This is why a warning should be printed saying that this maneuver should only be attempted with a personal printer. If there is a locking mechanism in CUPS (is there one?) then this problem is nonexistant. How could it be done? I haven't worked with kdeprint before, but I could give it a shot with enough information.

    Version: 4.1.81 (using Devel) Compiler: gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources In kde 4.1.x, when using imap in kmail and the remote host was not found due to some dns problem, it showed the error message "Unknown host mail.foo.com". In kde 4.1.80, it shows "Unknown host Host not found". To reproduce: 1) in kmail, setup an imap account that points to an inexistent host 2) try to fetch mail for this account. 3) a KMessageBox should popup saying this strange error message. I am not filing this as a kmail bug because I tried using kmail 1.10.3 (from kde 4.1.3) with kdelibs 4.1.80 and it showed the wrong message again. I guess this is in kio_imap code.
